Kate Spade Handbags
By Chris Rodriguez

Kate Spade handbags are not for the meek and timid who don’t like to attract attention. The Kate Spade handbag is funky, lively, and modern, perfect for the attention seekers of the world!

When Kate first arrived in New York she barely had two cents to rub together, but that didn’t stop her from becoming the fashion editor for Mademoiselle magazine. Eventually Kate started her own handbag company with Andy Spade, her husband. Using Kate’s first name and Spade, her husbands last name, she created a new line of Kate purses that were very unique and stylishly chic.

Handbags designed by Kate spade, although fairly new to the purse market, seem to have grown in popularity to the point where they are comparable to Gucci handbags. Kate Spade designer handbags have so much personality that you may find yourself getting compliments from complete strangers as you walk down the street.

All of Kate’s handbags are made in Italy and many are lined with a supple soft suede. The crinkled leather handbags are very durable and well made. Your Kate Spade designer handbag will never go out of style as they are made using modern and classic handbag designs instead of trendy short term designs.

If you don’t already own a piece of Kate Spade, be sure to get in on the action and get your own Kate Spade designer handbag.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DVD) Review
By Britt Gillette

Nominated for 28 Emmys, including several for Outstanding Visual Effects, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continues the rich tradition of the original 1960s Star Trek franchise. Created by former L.A. police officer Gene Roddenberry, the Star Trek TV series morphed into a franchise famous for the unprecedented fanatical devotion of its audience. Lasting only three seasons during its original network run, Star Trek struck gold with its syndicated reruns, launching a number of motion pictures featuring the original cast as well as novels, comic books, collectibles, and reams of Star Trek-related memorabilia. Following on the heels of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), the first Star Trek series spin-off of the original, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine foreshadowed additional spin-offs - Star Trek: Voyager (1995), and Star Trek: Enterprise (2001). Sporting an entirely new cast and crew from its two predecessors, the show focuses on a particular system administered by the Federation instead of the usual Star Trek mission of “exploring strange new worlds”…

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine follows the exploits of the Starfleet crew aboard an abandoned and gutted Cardassian space station orbiting the planet of Bajor. In the aftermath of Cardassian occupation, the Bajorian government invited the Starfleet to oversee the reconstruction of the space station. Deep Space Nine quickly transformed into a teeming city of commerce and a hub for travel (similar to Babylon 5) thanks to the discovery of an unknown wormhole nearby. But the wormhole leads to the Gamma Quadrant, realm of the feared Dominion alliance, which views the wormhole travelers as a threat to its totalitarian grip on power. As such, the Dominion launches an attack against the Federation and its Klingon allies. The subsequent and ongoing war is the basis for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine…

Capt. Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) is credited with discovering the wormhole, and he oversees the crew of Deep Space Nine as they wage battle to preserve the Federation. Ironically, his colleague, Constable Odo (Rene Auberjonois), is a Changeling - an alien race of “shapeshifters” who lead the Dominion’s united front. Together with the rest of the crew aboard Deep Space Nine, they struggle with internal and external conflicts that threaten to destroy their very way of life…

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine DVD features a number of exciting episodes including the series premiere “Emissary” in which the recently abandoned Cardassian space station, Terok Nor, is resettled by the Federation at the request of the Bajorians. Capt. Benjamin Sisko takes command and his discovery of the first stable wormhole nearby, a wormhole worshipped by the Bajorians as a god, transforms Sisko into a prophet in the eyes of the Bajorians. Meanwhile, the audience meets the rest of the cast and crew for Deep Space Nine… Other notable episodes from Season 1 include “Move Along Home” in which Quark’s cheating prompts a group of aliens from Gamma Quadrant to exact revenge on the crew of Deep Space Nine, and “Dramatis Personae” in which an indwelling by aliens transforms Sisko and Kira into enemies of the crew…

About the Author

Britt Gillette is author of The DVD Report, a movie review site where you can find more reviews like this one of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DVD) Review.

Who’d have thought that a mere phrase from a debut appearance on WWE’s Raw would floor the internet with requests?!  The Miz ased one thing of anyone watching WWE last night and that was “Google me!”  And did they?  Oh yes!  Google registered “The Miz” as one of its most searched items after the show so I’m guessing the entire American population now has a fairly good idea of who The Miz is, and, what he does.  So, for those of you who can’t be bothered to google him but still want to appear to be in “the know” here are a few things to inject into conversations at relevant points:

• Michael Mizanin is his real name (I suppose he thought “The Miz” was much cooler for a Wrestler name).
• He’s trained hard and played hard to get where he is having wrestled in Deep South Wrestling and Ultimate Pro.
• He’s a sucker for the limelight having also appeared in television shows like The Real World, Ghost Hunters, The Fear Factor and Identity.

Need any more?  Google him.

For those of you not in the know, Austin City Limits is a music festival held in (unsuprisingly) Austin Texas.  It’s held over a 3 day period and it’s super eclectic in its range of music so the appeal is wide ranging.  This year, Austin City Limits sees its eighth festival and I have to say, this one is looking absolutely stellar; definately the strongest we’ve seen in a while.  With headliners such as Pearl Jam, Kings of Leon, Beastie Boys and the Dave Matthews Band you know you’ll be getting your moneys worth - and then you’ve got the additional bonuses in bands like Sonic Youth, Ben Harper and Lily Allen. 

I suppose picking the big names is often just down to luck of the draw for the promoters as to who is touring, whose locked up in the recording studio or who is just taking a well earned break from the festival circuit.  Strangely, the promoters of this years festival, C3, decided that they would do nothing to quash any lineup rumors and leaks which seemed to prove a wise move for them - tickets sold faster than they ever have which is kind of strange for being in the middle of a recession don’t you think?!  With a lineup like this, if you’re thinking about going it’s probably best to buy your ticket now.

Hmmmm, so I’m left thinking that Snake of Eden have a really smart pr person behind them and are going to shoot to stardom fairly quickly!  Havn’t heard of them yet?  Where have you been?!  Izzy, Rock and Kelli Landeberg are the platinum (bleach) blond rock triplets from Sweden looking to storm America.  As first seen on Daisy of Love, you remember, they got booted in the first episode as Daisy de la Hoya’s deemed them unworthy of her love and affection.  Perhaps rather cynically I viewed it as a great bit of attention seeking pr…

So what’s the next move for Snake of Eden?  Well it seems like they’ve drafted their next publicity hit through featuring in Lady GaGas next music video due to be released on the 1st of May - Paparazzi!  Forever looking to cause a commotion, the attention seeking, fun loving girls are filmed kissing Lady GaGa - if this doesn’t bring them the fame they seek then the free press about Lady GaGas boyfriend’s jealousy probably will do!
